The Categories for 2009
Competitors please note that the categories stayed roughly the same as they were last year. Please double check that you've got the correct category number and name. It helps in the registration process. Thanks so much.
The categories are grouped here solely for my convenience. The groups have no other meaning. Penthathlon participants must enter in five numbered categories - regardless of the groupings. So, for example, entries in 1. Costuming and 7. Headwear would count as two categories for the Penthalon.
Costuming
1. Costuming, pre-1000; 2. Costuming, 1000-1300; 3. Costuming, 1300-1500; 4. Costuming, 1500-End of Period; 5. Costuming for Combat (includes horse barding); 6. Accessories (no headwear); 7. Headwear.
